The present study aims to elucidate the invasion impact of Tuta absoluta on tomato plants and factors associated with the pest longevity in Nigeria. Rearing of Tuta absoluta were carried out under an average 27.5 ± 3 °C temperature and 75.5 ± 3% relative humidity following standard procedure. Obtained data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and SPSS version 20.0. Subsequently, they were subjected to ANOVA with significance level at P = 0.05. The larval stage represents the destructive phase of Tuta absoluta on tomato plants. Virgin males and females had lifespans of up to 7.3 ± 2.13 and 12.9 ± 3.55 days, respectively, with significantly different values (P<0.05) observed between the sexes. Mating affected longevity of T. absoluta moths. Males lived up to 7.0 +0.15 days while the females lived up to 20.5 + 0.44 days. These values are significantly different at P<0.05. Generally, female live longer than the male counterpart of Tuta absoluta under any condition. It is therefore recommended that the most effective stage to target for control of the pest is typically the larval stage.","PeriodicalId":213779,"journal":{"name":"Dutse Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences","volume":" 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141826946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Institute is relatively young, thus undergoing development including but not limited to providing portable water supply. However, boreholes are the primary source of water supply. Four of the nine boreholes sunk within the hostel failed and there’s no published work looking into the potential reason for the failure. The aeromagnetic data of the study area were subjected to an edge-detecting technique, the second vertical derivative, to reveal lineaments within the study area. The lineaments represent structures like faults, fractures, and other features that could act as secondary porosity in the aquifer. Moreover, the Euler depth technique was also applied to determine the possible depth of the lineament. A NE trending lineament was mapped around the boreholes within the hostel. The depth of the lineaments around boreholes is about 300 m deep suggesting the area may not be viable for sinking a borehole, the cost of drilling to that depth will be huge.","PeriodicalId":213779,"journal":{"name":"Dutse Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences","volume":" 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141825988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the complexity of the disease dynamics and the interplay of environmental and climatic factors make it difficult to get a robust, accurate and reliable model for the disease outbreak prediction. The research therefore, developed a geo-computational based model for Lassa fever prediction. The geo-computational based model for Lassa fever outbreak prediction will be formulated based on random forest and the resulting model will be specified using Unified Modelling Language (UML). The simulation of the model was carried out in R Programming Language, Environmental and climatic data variables were used to drive the simulation. By integrating advanced computational techniques with geospatial and climatic variables, the model achieved a high accuracy rate of 87.74%, demonstrating its proficiency in outbreak prediction. Validation results, including an AIC value of 596.97 for the GLM model, underscore the reliability of the simulation outcomes. A predictive map generated from the model showcases its capacity to forecast outbreaks in Nigerian states. Through this approach, leveraging climatic and environmental factors for accurate prediction, this study contributed to enhancing public health preparedness and response strategies for combating Lassa fever.","PeriodicalId":213779,"journal":{"name":"Dutse Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences","volume":" 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141827189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of the study was to examine how malting and/or fermentation would influence the proximate composition of FARO 44 and improve its subsequently formulated rice-based complementary foods. Malting of rice was achieved by standard methods while accelerated natural fermentation was by back slopping. The proximate composition of formulated food products was evaluated. Four complementary products comprising non-mated non-fermented rice plus soybean (NMNFRS), malted non-fermented rice plus soybean (MNFRS), non-malted fermented rice plus soybean (NMFRS) and malted and fermented rice plus soybean (MFFRS) were formulated to provide 16 g protein/100 g each based on the proximate composition of the rice and soybean in food materials. Results of the proximate composition of formulated food products were within the recommended level of FAO except in terms of fat. Fermentation caused a slight increase in protein, fat, carbohydrate, energy value and slightly reduced ash, crude fibre and moisture. Malting caused a slight increase in fat and reduced ash and crude fibre. Formulated food products from malted and/or fermented rice plus soybean flour are adequately acceptable and hold potential application as complementary foods for addressing protein energy malnutrition (PEM), especially in children.","PeriodicalId":213779,"journal":{"name":"Dutse Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences","volume":" 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141824357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The PAni sample was synthesized by the oxidative chemical polymerization of aniline using p-toluene sulfonic acid (p-TSA) as the dopant acid and ammonium peroxydisulfate (APS) as the initiator. The factors (concentration of dopant acid, initiator-to-monomer ratio, and the addition rate of initiator to monomer) that affect the yield were varied using a Box-Behnken DOE method. The polymer was characterized using various analytical techniques, including Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), x-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The yield was calculated and examined using the regression equation, main effects plots, contour plots, and optimisation plots. The results show that under the optimized conditions of dopant acid concentration of 0.1 mol/dm3, an initiator addition rate of 45 cm3/h, and an initiator to monomer (I/M) ratio of 1.5, PAni with a yield of 82.81% was obtainable. The characteristics identified in the UV-Vis analysis confirm that the synthesized PAni exhibits a semi-conductive property and as a result, could be applied as an additive in anticorrosive paint.","PeriodicalId":213779,"journal":{"name":"Dutse Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences","volume":" 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141826953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study focuses on assessing the impact of Gadon Kaya dumpsite on the groundwater system in Kano, employing electrical resistivity as a geophysical technique. The ADMT 300SX device was used for the data acquisition at the dumpsite. Three profiles were taken across the dumpsite and one additional profile 100m away from the dumpsite as a control profile. The first profile has a length of 30m and a sampling interval of 2m, while the second, third, and control profiles are 60m in length with a sampling interval of 5m respectively. The results from these profiles showed that the leachate had contaminated the top layer and the weathered basement with deeper leachate migration where fractures in the basement complex connect with the weathered layer. The results also showed the area of highly resistive material interpreted as the crystalline basement which is without water content. From other studies, we deduced that the contaminated zone is beyond the water table or the aquifer materials in the region.","PeriodicalId":213779,"journal":{"name":"Dutse Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences","volume":" 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141824577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
